Hello Steemians
Greeting ! Today I will discuss with you about the different types of steem keys that are actually important to all of us who are members of Steem. If you want to be a member of Steem, you must have an idea about all these steemkeys that I will share with you today. Each key has a different importance to your steemit account . Today I will briefly discuss with you about each key so that you can easily get an idea about steemit keys and understand how to use it properly.
Overview of Keys
Owner key:
The most important key type. This is the most important Permission key besides your Master Password, it gives full control over your Steem account. With the ability to change literally anything on your account.
Posting key:
The first and most used key type, used for posting, voting, and commenting. Referred to as ''Posting'' Key/Password, users can make write out post & comments via their Steemit user profile, while upvoting and following other interesting Users.
Active key:
The third key type, used for your steemit wallet. The Active Key is important because it is the key to your wallet where all your steam, steemdollars and steempower are stored and it can perform almost all functions that the Owner Key can do with the account except for changing the Owner Key itself.
Memo key:
The memo key is the only key is specifically used for Private Messaging, used to encrypt and decrypt private messages sent & received via your Steemit account. Used to read/create memos, this key is for now, pretty useless and can be ignored.
Master password:
Your original log-in password for Steemit is referred to as the Master Password. With that Password you pretty much gain full control to your account.
Here you can see all the questions and answers

Answer: because without them I will lose my account.
2.which key must you never forget?
Answer: I can never forget my Active key.
3.Why should you keep your street keys private.
